1. I've been looking around the web and have found no real tangible benefit to the Space Shuttle program.  I mean really, not even 1 TV channel that couldn't have been achieved with unmanned launches.

2. Apparently it's what they're trained to do.

3. The week of the Chicago LAN!  YEAH!!!

4. I have received 1 recipe and Capn and MTK once brought some with them to an Indy LAN but so far that's it.  Get with the program people.

5. Hard to say.  It seems every few months more of it is being recalled.  I guess as long as it's not been in England we're ok though.

6. Actually it's because we love ourselves so much that we hate the government.  After all, anyone who would not hold the same position as our "omniscient" selves must be a tool.  Our love of self seems to be directionally proportional to our tolerance of others.

7. Rock's answer may be best, but given the choice between my own pee or squeezing the liquid from elephant poo to drink (which Bear has also done)...I guess I'd have to go with my own urine.

8. I guess the UPS man has a more condensed route which enables him to deliver most of the UPS service packages himself.  I'm not sure which system is more efficient by I like having one point of contact for UPS as opposed to 3 with FedEx.

9. They must feel that backing in is quicker then backing out.

10. He has it 'cause I've never asked for it back.  It only takes a reference in a blog since he returned it last night.  Thanks DK. :)

11. Because you don't know what you're missing.

12. They stay silent because of a) complacency b) fear of being singled out.  And the second part answer is no.

13. I still don't know the answer to this but I think I'm going to stop answering my phones during lunch.

14. I know a guy we used to call the Muffin Man.  One of my first jobs was as a night cashier at a Kroger grocery store.  The old weird guy would come in in the middle of the night and once he'd leave the tops of a half dozen muffins would be missing.  For some reason we could never catch him but he was forever known as the Muffin Man.

15. Based on the tainted meat from cows we talked about earlier, maybe we should perfect that system first before we start expanding our palates.

16. I fear never.

17. Boredom I assume.  Every little cramp or bladder urge can will be noticed when I'm bored.  If I'm in the field I don't have time to notice.

18. Calling yourself something and actually being that thing are two different realities.

19. Because we want what we might be able to get instead of what we have now.

20. This is one of the rhymes me grandfather taught me as a kid.  I'll always remember it and him for it.

I had no idea that yesterday I stopped at 20 questions.  Eerie huh?  Maybe not.
